The resizing algorithms are probably very similar but if upsizing using any RAW converter such as NX or NC from Nikon a change in dimension is applied before demosaicing. Photoshop can only upsize after NX has applied a demosiac filter to the original bayer data.

If I require a large image I always crop and size in NX before saving as TIFF, I suppose that we should downsize for the web in NX too but I allow photoshop to do this as I like to remove dust spots and perform other editting on a large image so any errors can be compressed and along with the image.

I can feel another comparison coming on!
